A thought has been nagging at me as of late; is it just me, or does it seem like not much changes anymore in terms of pop culture and design?

Compare some 20 year spans; for instance, 1949, 1969, and 1989.

In terms of nearly anything visual, clothing, automobiles, movies, television, even interior design, you probably get a pretty clear distinction between those eras. No one is going to confuse a movie made in 1989 with one made in 1969, for example. Video quality aside, everything simply looks different. Clothes, hairstyles, furniture, etc, it's all different.

Now compare 2020 with 2000.

What has changed? I came across a TV show the other night that I thought was new; it was from 2004. Last summer when I stopped at a traffic light, someone asked me if my (semi-exotic) car was something new, but it's from 2003. I haven't really kept up with pop music in the post-Napster era, but again... with few exceptions, it sounds the same to me. No way would you confuse current music in 1989 with classic rock from the 60's.

Is it just me, or am I just getting too old to appreciate the nuances?
